“What a great experience with Mirabel and her family. They treated Cady as if she were their own. I could tell from all the pictures that Cady was having a terrific time by the smile on her face. She had so much fun getting introduced to all the farm animals and having so much room to run and play. Will definitely re-book with them!”
“John is an excellent sitter! I can’t say enough good things about him. He took such good care of our dog, sent twice daily updates, and provided lots of walks and enrichment activities for him while we were out of town. We know our boy Lu enjoyed his stay!”
“Samantha was great! Extremely responsive and took care of our pup like it was her own! She sent photos during our dog’s stay which we loved seeing! It looked like our pup had a great time! We definitely recommend her to anyone who needs her pup taken care of.”
“Jody took amazing care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced in yard for pups to hang out and explore. She provided over the top service feeding my pups eggs when they wouldn’t eat their food and providing a fan for when they came back inside from running around. She was a delight to deal with from start to finish and sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend her!! Thanks again Jody!”
“Wonderful establishment with beautiful scenery, tucked back high on a mountain. They're experienced and the kennels are in great shape!. The owners are very forthcoming with information before taking your animals to board there. It was worth the 40 minute drive. They helped me out when I needed help with two rescue dogs that I knew nothing about yet. Please consider them for your next board!.”
“Absolutely amazing. So great with pick up and drop off and I got lots of pictures of my happy dog. 100% will be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“5 stars isn't enough for Susan and Ken! Kuma was treated like royalty the entire weekend. What blew me away was their incredible communication—even when I was off the grid with zero service, they kept me completely in the loop. They truly put their heart into pet care. If you want total peace of mind while you're away, book Susan and Ken immediately!”
“Emily is a wonderful sitter!! She’s kept our sweet Ollie twice recently and she always sends me pictures and updates on how he is doing. He was so happy to come back for the second stay, which shows she does an amazing job!”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“Amanda was great. My pets can be a little nervous but they warmed up to her quickly. She sent daily check in’s so I knew they were doing well when I was away. I would definitely book her again.”
“Donna is great. She took fantastic care of our Beau. Made sure he got his medicine on time. She took Beau for walks and sent pictures and texts with daily updates on Beau. She was quick to respond to any questions that we had. We would highly recommend Donna for your pet care as well as for our fur baby again. Thank you Donna for taking such good care of Beau.”
“I asked Kristen as a last minute trip came up that I needed a sitter for. She responded quickly and said YES. It was a 10 day boarding and I do not have one complaint. I am so thankful for her. My dog was healthy and happy when I picked her up. I have another trip soon so I will ask for her.”
“Katie and her family were very welcoming when we did the meet and greet. It gave us a lot of confidence in leaving our dog with them for a week! She was very communicative and sent us photos. We would definitely use her again!”
“Lawdy was very kind and professional and took great of our dog! We even reached out on just a days notice and it wasn't a problem whatsoever! Would recommend her for sure!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferrum
Maribel and Carl were so lovely and took excellent care of my boy! They sent me updated and pictures while Oliver stayed with them which was super appreciated. They also made sure he got some exercise and let him splash in the river that runs through his property. Amazing care!
Miko always has a great time at Maribel's and Carl's. They have a delightful farm with lots of room to romp. Miko enjoys their walks down to the river. He always seems sad to leave and excited to go. They also do a great job of communicating and sending photos of our furry son and are flexible when travel plans change!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ferrum on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ferrum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Ferrum sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ferrum landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ferrum home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ferrum.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ferrum sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
